Why should cabbies have a monopoly on ferrying people about?

Bunch of fannies imo

[Classic Jorge]

The police, via the carriage office, have a monopoly on granting licenses for charging on the basis of metered passenger transit.

[Ashberto]

but I feel there should be some reward for the work they put in to get there.

RIP Knowledge. :-(

[7evens]

The ****ers who try to rip off tourists and clog up Old Compton St and Shaftesbury Avenue..
I would gleefully have them eviscerated.

[Classic Jorge]

I do sometimes wonder if people know what's actually involved in the knowledge.

Then I usually settle on the idea it's a class based thing and people simply hate the idea of people like that getting above their station.

[Classic Jorge]

...no, dat the callage office, it fwee hunred yard down riverpoor load.

[Brentwood]

I do however sympathise that they have laid out a **** load for a licence on the understanding that nobody could enter the market to compete with them

[Mc Gooner]

Nobody forced any of them to do the Knowledge so that they don't need a TomTom. The fact they did do it does not justify them thinking they are better than any of the alternatives.

[Classic Jorge]

OK so politics is a weak point but we're working on that
